Maintains Mobility
People facing a below knee amputation require special stump support equipment to keep their knees extended - especially during healing. Full use of the knee is obviously preferable, especially if the patient intends eventually to use a prosthetic leg.
The
Uplift StumpRest is a retractable, bilateral
stump support system integrated into a
drop seat for wheelchairs. This combination
offers below-knee amputees an affordable
two-in-one wheelchair seat base to meet
postoperative and everyday needs.
- Provides unparalled convenience;
- Supports and protects residual
limbs of below-knee amputees;
- Helps prevent knee-flexion contracture;
- Helps reduce stump swelling and
the formation of dependent edema;
- Eliminates the need for costly
wheelchair modifications.
